The Getz is now Bi-Fuel, LPG and Gas. It's doing around 8L/100kms on LPG wich is very good on the pocket.
LPG is around .70€ around here.

Yes, so basically for that kind of driving you wouldn't care if it were fuelled with petrol, diesel or elephant dung, as long as it were as cheap as possible!
Though I have to say; these "start-stop" systems are just an expensive repair bill waiting to happen.
ROFL!

Wow, well, I have done 195,5 miles (ca. 310km?) and the guess gauge needle is exactly on the 3/4 tank mark. Owing for the fact that I know how non-linearly the needle moves, I think that will get me ~440 miles(~710km) on the entire tank and around 40mpg (~5,9l/100km)!

Now at 244,0 miles (~390km), guess gauge needle showing three needlewidths below the 3/4 mark. '00 Echo.

324,3 (~510km) miles on the tank, needle showing nearly a needlewidth under 1/2 tank. Still looking good for about a 430-ish mile (~690km) tank, or about ~40-42mpg (~5,75l/100km)

Filled up yesterday - a bit early, could have easily gotten another 50+ miles out of the tank, but curiosity killed the cat.
39,53 mpg (5,95l/100km)

jcp I gotta say, I never figured you to go down the route of hypermiling when I first read your posts here.
Yea someone with a Mustang Convertible worred about mpg, look out USA.

I think I've matured lately, and while I still have a bit of a rebellious streak, I am far more mellow and "fair" than I used to be. My heart still lies with a good classic car though I found I liked the personal challenge of eking out a few more MPG, and if I saved a few bucks while I was at it, so much the better! I am one of the least hardcore out there though. Wayne Gerdes is the unofficial king of MPG, getting just shy of 50mpg in his own AT Accord and giving much of his time as admin of a hypermiling website, reviewing fuel-efficient automobiles, and acting as something of an ambassador to hypermiling. Others are getting 100+mpg regularly in Honda Insights, one gentleman who lives near me is getting over 70mpg in his '96 Civic, and tons of others getting 80+ in Toyota Priuses. I wouldn't even be competitive in my setup without getting a mid-40mpg average.

I think I'll start measuring the fuel mileage of my '76 Cadillac Limousine. Just to see what it is getting. I did check years ago and it was between 10.0 to 10.5 mpg with one highway trip getting 12 mpg.
